This is exactly why the pilots of each airline are not in involved in SLI. Every pilot has their own idea of what is "fair" and 9/10 times their idea of fair just happen to be the best outcome for them, what a surprise.
You can keep going back and forth on what way is the "best" when at the end of the day it will be a combination of factors and methods involved, whether this happens in 3 months or 3 years is anyone's guess.
I love this new catch phrase everybody loves to use on here, naive at best. I do not really know what company is going away. I do know that the Colgan name will not be around much longer and I do know that the Mesaba name will still be used. To anyone with any common sense the simple answer is that Colgan is going away. I do also know that the Mesaba contract contains language protecting jobs in the case of a buyout that stipulates the pilots must go with planes. DOH straight across, you might not like it but it is fair.
